Use of Smooth Solid Tires for Container Handling inside Ports

We are curious to receive user / operator feedback on using Solid Tire fitted Container Trailers in ports, harbors & dry docks - we have developed 10.00 x 20 Heavy Duty Solid Tires with SMOOTH / SLICK Tread for use in Container Transport Trailers inside port complex.

Normally Solid Tires are meant for slow speed applications (25 Kmph max). But new usage conditions in Ports require us to customize our tires for Speeds up to 40 Kmph and for loads upto 15% more than the European Tyre & Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) Standards. Is this the norm all over the world or just in S.E.Asian ports..? Please let us have your opinions. You can write to us too.. exports at royaltyres dot com.
